Dangers of Alcohol: A Habit That Destroys Health, Mind, and Dignity
In today’s world, many people turn to alcohol in times of stress, sorrow, or for so-called enjoyment. But have we ever paused to think—what do we actually gain from drinking alcohol?
You may say, “Just a little, to forget my sorrow.” But why not remember God’s name instead? Chanting His name, listening to His stories, or attending a satsang (spiritual discourse) can purify your mind and truly heal your sorrows—not just temporarily numb them.
The Illusion of Relief, The Reality of Destruction
People often think alcohol gives relief. But it’s only temporary and illusory. In reality, it silently damages your body, ruins your intelligence, and drains your money. Let’s break it down:
-
Body: Alcohol directly harms your liver, kidneys, heart, and nervous system. Long-term use leads to diseases and organ failure.
-
Mind: Your decision-making ability, memory, and emotional control decline. You can’t think clearly or act responsibly.
-
Wealth: Alcohol is expensive. You spend your hard-earned money on self-destruction.
-
Respect: Socially, alcohol leads to disrespect, broken relationships, and shameful behavior.
Real-Life Consequences
There are countless real-life examples of people who have lost everything because of alcohol. Imagine a man who drank so much he couldn’t even cross a small drain on his bicycle. He fell and injured himself. Alcohol makes people so weak and unstable, they can’t even control basic movements.
Is this strength? Is this enjoyment?
What’s the Alternative?
Instead of alcohol, take the name of God. Listen to spiritual talks, sing bhajans, and surround yourself with good company. This will:
-
Cleanse your mind
-
Give you true inner peace
-
Help you overcome sadness
-
Improve your health
-
Save your money
-
Earn you respect
Ask yourself honestly: What has alcohol truly given you? Regret, pain, debt, and loss?
Choose wisely. Leave alcohol before it leaves you with nothing.
